Dressing for Success

It has been a while since our last conversation, so let me first thank you for being understanding. I do want to expound on a point mentioned in a previous post-Dressing for Success. This is a rather common topic; many people blog about this. However, I want to address some issues that I feel plague our common workplace.

Let's begin with the ladies..........

Fish net stockings, high heels(3 inches or more), and an accompanying mini-skirt does not belong in ...oh....let's...see....a professional medical setting or corporate setting. That's very distracting by the way.

Alternative:
Let's tone that down to a nice pair of textured tights with a low pump or even a nice loafer, a corduroy skirt (that meets the knee at least), married with a nice blouse or sweater or even a blazer. Just do not bring the fish net out unless your occupation requires you to do so.

The popular leggings are just not for everyone. I repeat-they are NOT for everyone. Trust me guys. I can actually pull them off, but I am quite skeptical myself. Please Please Please ladies let's stick with the darker or more neutral colors unless you are 12 years old. The bright yellows, fire red, neon green ones that we see were really a cruel plot of exploitation from the manufactures lol...lol...lol... They only did that to see who would actually wear them. I mean come on who wants to see a grown woman-a fully grown woman who has several children-walking down the street or in a store with neon green leggings that expose her entire bottom area. Just let them go! Let them go!

Alternative: Let's tone that down with a nice neutral legging, perhaps a deep cranberry, or chocolate, a nice deep green or beige. Couple it with a trendy sweater that covers all private areas. Add a nice flat or a cute boot, and you are ready to go.

I will have more later so stay tuned........signing off.
